Property Description
A Sprawling Creative Compound & Historic Shangri-La in Emerald Hills - Rarely does a property offer the intimacy of a soulful retreat and the scale of a private park. Set on a breathtaking 28,000+ sq. ft. lot (3 parcels), 271 Sylvan Way is a 1928 summer retreat lovingly transformed into a one-of-a-kind sanctuary. The Warmth of this home meets history with panoramic 180-degree views of Edgewood Park, engineered hardwood floors, skylights, wine fridge, gas range, AC, Nest, and a Primary bath with a classic clawfoot tub. The original rock fireplace, now featuring a gas insert, remains the heart of the home, inviting many cosy family gatherings or just sitting by the peaceful fireplace and relaxing. The Grounds extend 270 feet of frontage steps from Edgewood Park. This "nature preserve" backyard features massive decks, a hot tub, a fire pit, a greenhouse, and a unique outdoor stage that has hosted many touring artists. You can work from Home with 2 detached, light-filled studios that offer the ultimate quiet and greenery for an executive office or art atelier. This home is truly a "hidden gem" minutes from tech hubs, yet worlds away. A legacy opportunity to own a piece of history with infinite potential.
